Blending In: Class 4, Period 3

Aly wasn't upset the island had decided to move.  Really.  She totally hadn't planned an entire class around 'blending in France.'

So inside she asked the class to meet her in the Danger Shop which was currently a tavern of the sort one would find in just about any Tortall town.  That is to say vaguely medieval, filled with barmaids and lower more scruffy sorts mixed in with a few fine gentlemen slumming it and a mix of craftsmen drinking, eating or otherwise engaged.  If anyone was familiar, this particular tavern looked a good bit like the old Dancing Dove in Corus, but few other than Aly probably realised.

Aly leaned against one of the walls, watching the students.  "Today we're going to practce fitting in to a place that most of you might be a bit unfamiliar with - those who are?  You have an easy week.  Enjoy it.  The name of this tavern is the Dancing Dove, and what I want you to do is dress the part after seeing what the other patrons are using.  Try to blend in with the patrons, don't start a fight, and find out who Rispah is.  Pair up or go on your own."

She grinned.  "Questions?"

[OOC:  Please wait for the OCD is up, more information will be in there!]

Michael was listening, and also paying attention to his surroundings.

Dōjima listened attentively, occasionally glancing down at the box that held Romeo. Huh. Blending with a mousie would be tricky.

If you could quantify Jen's visceral reaction right about now, it would boil down to a very enthusiastic ZOMG.

. . . yes, with all the emphatic fonts and everything.

Now this was a time period she had never been to, and kind of would have loved to, because ZOMG.

After a few minutes of ZOMGing, she sobered enough to actually pay attention to her surroundings and put some of that Academy insertion training to work in getting a sense of the place and trying to plan a way to blend in.

Gwen listened attentively, frowning a little, since this probably mean skirts and those were awkward in a fight.

Gwynn was excited. This place looked like one of the taverns Will liked to hang out in to gather information.

Seregil felt a faint smile touch his lips as he listened to the lecture. This reminded him of many a tavern down near the docks of Rhiminee. He should be able to blend in here in his sleep.

Alex listened intently. He could do this. He was trained for this.

...he was probably screwed.

Teyla looked pleased as she glanced around at their surroundings. This week's lesson wouldn't be difficult for her at all.

Inara didn't quite facepalm, but it was a very near thing.

It took him a while, but Michael eventually found an outfit that seemed appropriate.

He found something vaguely Ozian, though perhaps a little more on the rustic end of things and considered dirtying it up some.

People here had no idea how much cleaner things were.

Gwen looked for clothes that were more on the faded and worn side.

Dōjima looked around to see if anyone wanted to team up as she started flipping through the closet. Two (or three) heads would be better than one, for this one.

Seregil picked an outfit of tunic, leggings, cloak and low boots that was similar to what he usually wore when travelling.

Adam found an outfit and pair of boots that looked similar to what the people were wearing. Wondering if anyone wanted to pair up, he hoped this wouldn't be too difficult.

Evey picked out something rather dark and simple.

After reflecting for a moment on the barmaids, she tugged the bodice as low as she could manage. Not blushing in that would be a challenge in and of itself.

He knew bars, pubs, taverns, whatever you wanted to call this one. Michael was confident enough to go in on his own.

Zuko was completely unsuspecting of any need to participate and totally willing to mock the students. It was kind of fun not having to sign in.

Before class, Dōjima walked up to Aly, a small box in her hands. "Ano, sensei? I have a problem," she said, holding it out. "Or, well, Romeo does, so he won't be participating today."
